Yay Front Page! March 18, 2008

I am very happy today because my birdie napkins that I wrote about earlier in my blog were featured today on the front page of Etsy by Portovert, an online guide to greener weddings! I embroidered little birds on high quality clothe napkins I discovered at a local thrift store. I can only assume the napkins are meant to be given as a wedding gift? Not sure but I definitely appreciate the compliment. I have had one other item featured on the front page, wool convertible mittens. This resulted in my first (and sadly, only) sale. Hopefully the same will be true this time, except of course it would result in my second and not only sale.

Bird Napkins March 3, 2008

Cute birdie napkins

Well I finally finished a project. It has been ages since I could say that. I think the last project I finished was a pair of fingerless mittens a month or two ago. I really don’t know why I have been so unproductive. I guess because I have been pretty busy at work lately and haven’t had a ton of time to spend on my other pursuits.

Anyhow these little bird napkins are the fruit of my labor. I found the yellow napkins at a local thrift store and they were in great shape so I decided to add a little charm to them. I hand embroidered a bird in the corners. Each bird has a different color wing. I think they are kind of retro and cute. My friend thinks they look like partridges, someone else said geese, someone else said hens. I don’t know what they are but I like them.
